Chapter Nine: "I just can't take anymore, this life of solitude…"
FLASHBACK
Shot of Andie at a payphone at the airport. Camera pans around to show Shannon sitting behind her 'watching' Sayid's bag and reading a magazine.
Andie: Danny, I know. It was sudden…I'll be back in two weeks…Look…Danny….stop it, I know! I'll take care of it when I get back, okay…? Well, it's gonna have to be good enough!
She hangs up the phone in anger. She glances at her hand on the receiver and takes a minute to look at her ring. Then she steps away from the phone booth. Claire walks past her and something falls out of her bag, unbeknownst to her. Andie picks it up.
Andie: Excuse me? Hey.
Claire turns.
Andie: You dropped this.
Claire: Oh! My boarding pass, thank you. Wouldn't get far without it.
As Andie hands it to Claire, she sees the flight.
Andie: You're on flight 815?
Claire: Yeah.
Andie: Me too. Right at the back.
Claire: Are you heading there now?
Andie: No, I'm gonna go get liquored up before I get on that plane. I hate flying. You want to come?
Claire: I would, but…
Claire indicates her belly.
Andie: Ah, you can't come…sorry.
Claire: I can drink coffee, though. Well, decaf. That's where I'm headed.
Andie: Maybe I'll see you on the plane.
Claire: Yeah, sure.
They go their separate ways.
END OF FLASHBACK
Shot of Andie's closed eye. It opens quickly and she sits bolt upright. She looks around and sees she's in a room with a lot of piping. Her hands are cuffed together around one of the pipes. She shakes them and tries to get free.
Andie: No.
She yanks on the cuffs, trying to free herself.
Andie: Not again! No! NO!
She gives up and falls to the floor with a scared look on her face.
Juliet (out of scene): It's alright, Andie.
Andie jumps back up to her feet as Juliet walks in.
Juliet: Remember me?
Flash to the beach. Claire is playing with Aaron by the water. Kate comes over.
Kate: Hey Claire.
Claire: Hi.
Kate: Have you seen my purple singlet, by any chance?
Claire (shakes her head): Sorry.
Kate: I can't seem to remember where I put it?
Claire: Was it dirty? Because Andie was washing a whole bunch of stuff this morning.
Kate: Huh, maybe. Where is she?
Claire: Up the beach. (she gets to her feet) I'll show you.
Kate: Thanks.
They walk off.
Shot of Sawyer's tent. He's sitting out the front reading a book. He watches Kate and Claire walk up the beach. Then he looks over at Andie's empty tent, sighs, and goes back to his book.
Shot to Andie in the room with all the piping. Juliet stands nearby.
Andie: Let me out of here.
Juliet: We told you weren't supposed to leave, Andie.
Andie: Let me out of here!
Juliet: You're not going anywhere. Not for awhile. You'll stay here; where you're safe.
Andie: You're crazy. You're fricking crazy.
Juliet: Andie…you're safe with us.
Andie covers her mouth with her hand. Then she realizes her ring is gone.
Andie: Where's my ring? (She looks at Juliet) What did you do with it?!
Juliet: The ring that Nick gave you, right?
Andie looks completely confused.
Andie: WHO ARE YOU?!
Juliet gives her a sympathetic look.
Juliet: Get some rest, Andie. Trust me…it'll be easier on you if you do.
Juliet leaves.
Andie: Come back! Get back here! Let me go!!
